It’s now mid May. Are we going to still see Tornio - Haparanda #CrossBorderRail opening this summer still? 🤔 https://www.railwaygazette.com/railtech-archive/2026/04/16/finland-says-long-delayed-cross-border-rail-link-to-sweden-set-for-summer-launch/
Time for what ought to be a simple bit of #CrossBorderRail - Bruxelles to Paris
What?
Berlin - Oslo direct in a Talgo? 🤔
These railways with ideas for new connections with these trains before anyone knows if they run properly…

Today’s background
New borders:
None
Borders already crossed:
Kehl 🇩🇪 – Krimmeri-Meinau 🇫🇷
The direct Berlin – Paris train is not running in April, so it is back to messy routes from Berlin to Bourgogne, and crossing the border on the Offenburg – Strasbourg service, hopefully to be finally replaced by the new Régiolis trains soon.
